Save web shortcuts in your Drive

Keep links to websites next to your files: a web shortcut sits in a folder like a file and opens the site in a new tab.

Updated Web

A web shortcut keeps a website's address in your Drive, next to the files it relates to. Opening it opens the site in a new tab.

#Create a web shortcut

  1. Open the folder where you want the shortcut.

  2. Above the file list, click Create, then Web shortcut.

  3. In New web shortcut, type the address, for example example.com.

    Drime adds https:// if you leave it out. You can also give the shortcut a name.

  4. Click Create.

    Shortcut created confirms it.
